XP install booting drive other than C:

[astro4554]

Hi all,

Fist post.... There seems to be some gurus here, hope you can help.

I need to setup an XP on a T: drive or something other than C:... The reason is, I have a client install our software on a citrix T:\windows drive with no C: and our setup (wise) does not like it.

Anyway I can install XP on a one HD machine but have this disk called something other than C:

Thanks for any help

Hmmmmm

Why not just install windows in C: then go to Control Panel\Administrative tools\Computer management\Disk management right click, choose change drive letter.

Will that help??

I have found a way... From disk management, you cannot change the boot drive letter.

I have done this... (I was on VMware)

1. Create a new machine with 3 Virtual disk

2. started from third drive, create a partition... Became c:

3. Choose second drive, create partition, became d:

4. Choose third drive, created partition became e: and installed XP on this drive.

Worked fine. I tested my bug and found the solution

Thanks

There is a way to change system drive letter, though not so straightforward:
